Ugly Tiki Surfer Guy
Price: $15.99
OK, I’ll fess up, I stole the quote frem Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiki
“In Polynesian mythology (specifically: Maori), Tiki is the first man, created by either Tu Matauenga or Tane. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond. She seduced him and he became the father of Hine-Kau-Ataata. Also in Polynesian mythology, a tiki or hei tiki is a kind of sculpture which results in a carving in the shape of a god. Each tiki houses a spirit. The creation of tikis is known from all over Polynesia.”
It is possible that the Ugly Tiki Surfer Guy was the first descendent of Hine-Kau-Ataata and in some Pacific Island cultures he is believed to be the inventor of the surfboard. They don’t mention Ugly Tiki Surfer Guy in the movie, Riding Giants, but you should see the movie nontheless. It is about the best surf documentary out there.
